SEAR Surf & Swim Earplugs — Block Water, Embrace Sound

€45.95

30 in stock

SEAR surf earplugs are built for one purpose: keeping cold water out of your ear canal while keeping your full awareness of the surf. The result is ear protection you’ll actually want to wear in the water — session after session.

Why Most Surf Earplugs Get It Wrong

Traditional earplugs block water by blocking everything — sound included. That 15 dB seal cuts you off from your surroundings: you can’t hear the sets coming, can’t communicate with your crew, and feel isolated in the water. So most surfers stop wearing them.

SEAR takes a different approach. A 9 dB acoustic filter blocks cold water and wind without muffling ambient sound. You stay protected. You stay aware. Block Water. Embrace Sound.

Earplugs for Surfing That Actually Stay In

A waterproof earplug is only useful if it stays put. SEAR’s ergonomic ear wing system locks each plug in place — secure enough to survive duck dives, wipeouts, and being held down in the break. Three earplug tip sizes (S/M/L) and four ear wing sizes (S/M/L/XL) let you find a watertight seal without a trip to an audiologist. Most surfers find their fit in under five minutes.

Built to Protect Against Surfer’s Ear

Surfer’s ear (exostosis) develops when cold water and wind repeatedly trigger bone growth in the ear canal. Wearing waterproof earplugs for surfing is the most effective way to slow that process. SEAR earplugs are medical-grade silicone, hypoallergenic, and reusable — the kind of kit you reach for before every session without thinking about it.

Who They’re For

SEAR surf earplugs work for surfers, bodyboarders, kitesurfers, wingfoilers, and windsurfers — anyone who needs cold-water protection without losing situational awareness. They double as waterproof earplugs for swimming, open-water events, triathlons, snorkelling, and kayaking. If your ENT has told you to protect your ears in water, SEAR gives you that protection without the isolation of traditional plugs.

Each set comes with a waterproof magnetic case with carabiner clip — clip it to your board bag or wetsuit so it’s always where you need it. An optional leash keeps plugs from disappearing into the ocean mid-session.

What’s Included

Everything you need to protect your ears and elevate your sessions.
Inside every SEAR Plugs set, you’ll find one pair of premium earplugs engineered for water, along with four different wing sizes and three interchangeable plug sizes to guarantee a snug, secure fit. A waterproof travel case keeps your gear clean and ready between sessions, while a simple care guide ensures they last. Whether you’re headed to the pool or chasing waves around the world, SEAR equips you to go further.

The Technology

Designed for performance. Engineered for awareness.
SEAR Plugs feature a hydrophobic acoustic mesh that blocks water from entering your ear canal while allowing sound to pass through—unlike foam or solid plugs. With just 9dB of sound reduction, they preserve your spatial awareness, letting you hear surf, signals, and your environment. It’s the sweet spot between protection and connection—critical for surfers, swimmers, and water athletes who rely on their senses.

Fully Customisable Fit

One product. Every ear. All-day comfort.
No two ears are the same—so we designed SEAR to adapt to yours. Every box includes three sizes of flexible wings and three tip sizes, allowing you to find your perfect fit with zero pressure points. The wings lock gently into place in the outer ear, while the tips form a soft but secure seal. Once they’re in, they stay in—no matter how rough the water gets.

Prevent Swimmer’s Ear / Surfer’s Ear

Comfort today. Protection for the long haul.
SEAR helps prevent Swimmer’s Ear and Surfer’s Ear by creating a reliable barrier between your ear canal and water exposure. Made from medical-grade silicone, they’re soft, reusable, and hypoallergenic—ideal for daily wear without irritation. By reducing moisture buildup and keeping bacteria out, SEAR helps you stay in the water longer, safer, and with more peace of mind.
